15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who starred in the IPL, has broken a major record of Sachin Tendulkar without even playing a match.
A 15-year-old rising star has caused a sensation in Indian cricket. Rajasthan Royals' explosive batsman Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has broken a historic record of the 'God of Cricket' Sachin Tendulkar without playing a single international match. He has been selected for the Indian team for the Ireland tour.
With his inclusion in the Indian T20I team, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has become the youngest player to receive a call-up for India.
Previously, this record was held by the legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar, who got a place in the team in 1989 at the age of 16.
If Vaibhav plays his first match against Ireland on June 27, he will also become the youngest player to debut for India.
This is a historic moment for Indian cricket, signaling the arrival of a new generation.
This left-handed batsman surprised everyone with his performance in the IPL 2026 season.
He won the Orange Cap and the 'Most Valuable Player' (MVP) title by scoring 776 runs in 16 innings.
Vaibhav batted fearlessly against veteran bowlers like Pat Cummins and Jasprit Bumrah, hitting sixes.
His aggressive style and ability to perform under pressure caught the attention of the selectors.
Chief selector Ajit Agarkar shared his opinion on Vaibhav's selection. He said that his talent could not be ignored.
His performance compelled us to select him for the team. To play so explosively in such a high-pressure environment is incredible. We hope he will show the same spirit in the tough challenges of international cricket.
This statement from Agarkar shows the selection committee's faith in Vaibhav's ability.
In this new team announced under Shreyas Iyer's captaincy, other young faces like Prince Yadav have also been given a chance alongside Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.
Meanwhile, experienced batsman Suryakumar Yadav has been dropped from the team, indicating a major shift in the squad.
Vaibhav's selection is a big step for the future of Indian cricket. It shows that the doors to the national team are open for young players who perform well on platforms like the IPL. Now, it remains to be seen how Vaibhav capitalizes on this opportunity on the international stage.
